Abstract: This study presents a possible relationship between two main objects, which are three-dimensional copulas (3D-Cs) and geometric picture fuzzy numbers (GPFNs). This opens up a potential field for future studies for these two objects that three-dimensional copulas can become useful tools for handling uncertainty information in the form of a picture fuzzy set (PFS). Specifically, we define a GPFN as a base element of the PFS and a defined domain of three-dimensional copulas that contains a set of GPFNs, then we show some examples of three-dimensional copulas identified on this domain. In this framework, we present the theorems related to these two objects. At the same time, we provide some examples for three-dimensional semi-copulas, three-dimensional quasi-copulas, and three-dimensional empirical copulas defined on D, which is a defined domain of a three-dimensional copula and contains a set of GPFNs
Dg*.
In addition, we also introduce a new approach to non-linear programming problems.
